On Tuesday, 4th April, Reach Society once again showcased talent in the Black community in its 7th Careers Conference. The climax of the day was the announcement of the second full scholarship for a British young man of Caribbean background seeking entry to Brunel University London in September 2018; and the new summer internship at Grace Foods for a British young woman, of the same background, who is studying at Brunel University.

There are two sets of recognition awards - one for self development, which will be awarded to children and young adults; and the other for extra-ordinary contributions and long service to Reach Society.

2017 Recognition Awards & QAVS Report

On Saturday, 21 October, more than 220 guests at Reach Society's 6th Recognition Awards celebrated the Society’s national honour, The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service or QAVS (which is also known as the MBE for volunteer groups) which was won last June. This was a historic achievement because Reach Society became the first social enterprise, led by a team of male professionals in the Black community, to win this national honour.

Professor Bill Leahy, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Brunel University London, gave a heartwarming tribute to the Society for winning this national honour. He reminded the audience that this is the highest honour available to any voluntary group. The keynote speaker Rene Carayol, MBE, the founder and CEO of Inspired Leaders Network, congratulated the Society for the work it is doing with young people; and highlighted the importance of taking responsibility for ourselves in order to make the community more robust and resilient.
